5 Surprising health benefits of beer

Ladies, it might be time to flip the switch on the men in our lives. It may be time to sit ourselves down on the sofa every night and call out, "Honey, can you get me a beer?!" And you don't even have to feel guilty about it because the latest research suggests that beer may be good for your health. Red wine has long been celebrated for its health benefits, well turns out beer may even have more health benefits than its hoity toity wine-y relative. How so?

5. It has iron. I have been iron-deficient pretty much my whole life. I had no idea that beer could help me with that issue. Darker beers have higher iron content than ligher beers, so if you are going to pretend to drink beer for iron, keep it dark.
